More information on the rationale in the ISO standard: The rationale
could not be included in the ISO standard, as it was not in ISO format.
Reformatting the rationale was considered to delay the printing of
the ISO standard with about half a year.

WG14 will consider including the rationale in the forthcoming
ISO addendum.
